The commissioner of INAI said that he is already working on the national transparency platform, which hopes to substitute INFOMEX as a technological tool. “We are already working on the national transparency platform, which will take the place of INFOMEX, in terms of technological tools. The INAI unveiled this plan on Friday, the International Day of Personal Data. Identity theft is a topic that has worried us. I respectfully offer that you don’t abandon the opportunity to help legislate cybercrime, because in general we as Mexicans are exposed to and at the expense of cybercrime and all manifestations of abuse on the web,” Acuña Llamas said. The legislators of PRI promised to make laws in favor of transparency for better democracy in Mexico.
